Chapter 240: Chapter 240 The Silly and Cute Mother and Daughter_1 Chapter 240: Chapter 240 The Silly and Cute Mother and Daughter_1 Su Wanxia acted as if she hadn’t heard Jian Manhui at all and just kept laughing to herself. Jian Manhui was now unsettled. She took out her cell phone, held it to her ear, and deliberately amplified her voice: “Hello, is this Mu Yingchen?”

Instantly, Su Wanxia’s laughter ceased, and she looked at Jian Manhui with a nervous face.

Jian Manhui snorted at her and then took the phone away, “If you keep laughing, believe it or not, I’ll call Mu Yingchen right now and tell him you’re hiding here.”

Immediately, Su Wanxia stopped laughing. She closed her mouth and shook her head at Jian Manhui, but her shoulders still trembled slightly.

“Su Wanxia, you can just stay here by yourself tomorrow; I have to go to work.”

“No, Manhui, just stay with me one more day tomorrow,” pleaded Su Wanxia, putting on a pitiful act.

Staying here by herself was genuinely super boring, boring to the point of going crazy.

“Then tell me why you were laughing at me just now,” Jian Manhui really blew her top this time.

Su Wanxia hummed twice, not really giving a clear answer, and finally, she looked intently at Jian Manhui and said, “Manhui, what do you think about Su Ran?”

Jian Manhui’s temples suddenly throbbed. That hypocrite?

“Him? I think he’s nothing but a scumbag!” Jian Manhui said ruthlessly.

“Pfft—” Su Wanxia burst into laughter instantly. This was the first time she’d ever heard anyone call Su Ran a scumbag since she’d known him; it was truly a once-in-a-millennium event.

“Manhui, what do you think his expression would be if I recorded your words and sent it to him?” Su Wanxia teased.

Jian Manhui scoffed, “I don’t care about his expression; it would be best if it pissed him off to death!”

“That’s my Manhui, unaffected by handsome looks, with such personality!” Su Wanxia gave her a thumbs-up.

After all, Su Ran was someone who’d charmed an assembly of fathers and elders in Jiangdong.

Wherever he went, he could instantly steal the show from everyone around him.

And that somewhat complex aura of his made all the pretty young girls wish they could throw themselves at him.

Yet Manhui could so nonchalantly utter the words ‘scumbag,’ truly an unattainable iron tree blossom.

Jian Manhui couldn’t stand Su Wanxia’s expression and was speechless with frustration, “I’m going to take a shower.”

Trying to hold back her laughter, Su Wanxia watched as Jian Manhui entered the bathroom. Just as she had managed to calm her unstoppable emotions, her cellphone suddenly rang again.

Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at the screen. The phone number wasn’t saved with a name, but the impressively powerful series of digits made her heart tremble in fear.

Damn, in the heat of talking to Manhui, she had forgotten to switch off her phone. How could Mu Yingchen’s call have come through so soon? It was too much of a coincidence!

And as soon as the other end connected, Shanshan’s eyes lit up with excitement.

But Su Wanxia kept not answering the phone, which immediately made Shanshan’s little face crumple into a dumpling. She didn’t have her phone with her, and she knew that if she used her number to call Mommy, she would definitely answer.

Su Wanxia looked at the incoming call display, feeling utterly dejected; she couldn’t answer, absolutely couldn’t.

Finally, the ringing stopped, and her heart also relaxed with relief, but just after a moment, the phone pinged with a new message. She raised an eyebrow. Well, well, still sending a message.

Though she thought this, she couldn’t help but open the message to see. Upon reading it, her eyes immediately widened in surprise.

Mommy, it’s Shanshan.

No extra words, just these few characters sent, leaving Su Wanxia on the verge of tears.

What on earth is this girl up to–

Using Mu Yingchen’s phone to call her and send messages.

As she tangled with her thoughts, the phone rang again. Su Wanxia held it, hesitated for a while, closed her eyes, and pressed the answer button.

It doesn’t matter, after all, it’s only a phone call; even if he finds out, what could he do to her?

“Mommy–you finally picked up the phone~~” An adorably pitiful voice came through immediately.

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but smirk, “Weren’t you looking for your daddy? Now that you’ve found him, just stay with him properly.”

“Mommy, I want to be with Daddy, and I want to be with you too, I wish you both were together even more~~”

The corner of Su Wanxia’s mouth twitched, this girl’s sweet-talking was getting more and more sophisticated.

“You—is your daddy there? Does he know you’re calling me?” Su Wanxia asked cautiously.

Shanshan lowered her voice even further, “Mommy, don’t worry, Daddy is taking a shower. I sneakily took his phone to call you, he doesn’t know—”

Su Wanxia raised an eyebrow; the little girl was pretty clever.

“Then keep your voice down, don’t let him hear you,” Su Wanxia reminded her aloud.

“I’m hiding under the covers, Daddy can’t hear me,” Shanshan said proudly.

Su Wanxia silently praised the girl’s cleverness in her heart.

But what the mother and daughter didn’t know was that Mu Yingchen had already silently stood by the bedside the moment Su Wanxia picked up Shanshan’s call.

Therefore, nearly all of their conversation had fallen into his ears. Although he couldn’t hear what Su Wanxia was saying on the phone, he could guess a bit from Shanshan’s words.

Mu Yingchen stood with his arms crossed, lips curled up, looking at the little bump in the middle of the big bed. With his accurate judgment, that little girl was definitely on her knees, talking on the phone with that insufferable woman.

“Alright then, behave and stay with your daddy. Mommy will come get you in a couple of days.”

“Mommy, where are you right now? Daddy and I have been looking for you all afternoon and haven’t found you.”

Shanshan really wanted to know where her mommy was hiding; otherwise, she wasn’t at ease.

“Honey, Mommy can’t tell you right now~~” Su Wanxia softly consoled.

“No, just tell me, I promise I absolutely won’t tell Daddy.” The little girl swore sincerely.

Su Wanxia’s heart softened, and she lowered her voice to say, “Mommy is at a hotel near your grandfather’s house. Don’t worry, actually, Mommy is very close to you–”

“Really?” Shanshan, excited, couldn’t help but raise her voice a little.

But as she was covered with a blanket, she was unaware that Mu Yingchen had just been beside her. Fearing she would notice, he had not moved close to the bed; instead, he slowly bent over, inching towards the direction of her phone’s microphone.

The room was already silent, so the words spoken by Su Wanxia roughly entered Mu Yingchen’s ears. He suddenly curled his lips in a silent smile, then stealthily walked towards the bathroom, pretending to have finished his shower by cracking the door open and then closing it.

“Shanshan, what are you doing?”

Startled by Mu Yingchen deliberately raising his voice, Su Wanxia also faintly heard it, and her heart pounded abruptly.

Without waiting for Shanshan to hang up the call, she swiftly cut it off, then placed her hand over her chest, exhaling deeply. That was close~
